reagan. mondale asked mcgovern "george, when does it stop hurting?" and mcgovern said "as soon as it does i'll let you know." that was 12 years after mcgovern had been defeated. usually what happens is that a candidate who suffers a defeat like this wakes up at 2:00 a.m. for the next ten years saying "i shouldn't have made the 47% statement, i should have done other things differently." mitt romney may be an exception. he's got a huge close family, great religious faith and another thing interesting about this speech tonight is that i think he spoke more openly about his religious feelings than almost any other time. >> woodruff: we have a photograph that we'll show everyone released by the white house. this is at the moment the president -- or soon after the president and the vice president learned that the president would be reelected and joe biden would be reelected as vice president i want to stay with what you were just saying, michael and richard. because i'm struggling as i look back a

then a few years later, along came ronald reagan. the total amount of revenue that was raised for marginal rates in the year 1980 was $244 billion. 1990 was $466 billion, which was almost doubled in the decade that had the most streamlining and reduction of marginal rates in our history. and so i think it's interesting to observe that this wasn't really all a republican idea. it's something that has worked every time that it's been tried. mr. portman: my colleague from oklahoma and i -- mr. president, i would like to follow up briefly on that and just say that in 1997 when we decided to move toward a balanced budget agreement when president clinton was president, there was also an agreement to cut the capital gains rate which is sometimes forgotten. that capital gains rate cut produced a lot of revenue that was not expected. as a result, we got to a unified balanced budget, a unified basis more rapidly than anybody thought we would. it came two or three years sooner than projected. in part because it was about $100 billion of new rev
